Shannon Matthews

March 18th - what on earth is going on? There seems to be more than meets the eye with the case.

Unfortunately, today it looks like I might have been right. The step-father of Shannon Matthews is due to appear in court on Thursday charged with 10 counts of possessing indecent images of children, police sources said.

It was the step-father's uncle who has been charged with abducting Shannon.

BNP removes 'rape myth' candidate

In a statement on the BNP website, the party said Mr Eriksen had "taken responsibility and unlike other politicians faced with similar circumstances has acted swiftly and honourably to resolve this matter".

"It was felt that no matter how much Nick Eriksen's blog comments, written back in 2005, had been distorted and taken out of the context of a blog which reflected our tough stance on all sorts of crime, they could still be perceived as trivialising the issue in a manner that many women in particular could have found extremely offensive."

It added: "Whilst this party remains committed to free speech it should be understood that with that freedom comes responsibility."

Not much of an apology, is it? My mental translation ran thus:

He said bad things, but the media made it seem worse that it is. It's sort of what we believe in anyway, really, which is why we let him write it back then, but the media have made such a fuss, he's going to stand down really quickly. We're going to point out that other MPs involved in media scandals don't stand down so quickly, to try to make ourselves look good.

Quite how the media can make someone saying 'only rape by a stranger counts as rape' seem worse, I don't know.

Automatic Writing

Inspired by madwitch, I am going to attempt automatic writing.

I shall close my eyes, place my hands over the keyboard, and then, apparently, spiritual forces will guide my hand.

Gosh, how profound.

Leave me a comment through automatic writing! Maybe our spiritual guides will have a conversation!


Note - Touch typing =/= automatic writing. I can touch type! The whole point is you let your SPIRITUAL GUIDE choose the letters for you.
